Well, i think that you should know about my boyfriend for starters...His name is Kevin and he is the bee's knees. BEE'S KNEES I TELL YOU! seriously, he treats me like i am royalty!
Here's our story: It was the first day of school and i was UBER nervous seeing as it was my first day at a new college away from home for the first time... yada, yada... yeah i was scared, antisocial, all of that. Sarah (my sis) told me to go to the institute and try and mingle. haha no thank you... I told her I'd go though, so i did. with a book to hide behind of course. So there i was with a break in between classes sitting at the institute reading Pride and Prejudice. Our institute, although we're in a small town, has a TON of LDS peeps! I'm telling you, more than half of our campus has to be. anyways, it was noisy and i was trying to read my book and some random guy sits diagonal from me with like 4 other guys around him chatting and i am trying to ignore the fact that he's staring and smiling at me. I look up and start staring at him back, blank faced while he still sits there smiling. not gonna lie, i was mad. i just wanted to read my book, go back to school, and go home. Finally he says "hi I'm Kevin, what's your name, are you going to FHE tonight?" and then he proceeded to pull the I'm an R.M. card, telling me stories about his mission and the people he served and that he could catch a fly and throw it back and forth with his companions. cool, but eww. He asked me what ward i was in. i said 3rd ward and he said me too! then i smiled and said "well, I'll see you around then." He smiled and said sounds like a plan and left for class.
See, the thing was, i didn't want to meet anyone, i was waiting for a missionary and wasn't sure if i should anymore. and i kind of didn't want to be distracted and not do well in school. Moving here was a way for me to start over, meet new people... be closer to the temple. all of that. I still somehow kept him in the back of my mind all day and thought, i bet he's not in my ward and made a mistake, I'll never see him again with the amount of people here. So my roomie and i went to fhe that night looking for him. lol i know... weird but it is what it is. I had told her about him and she was determined to find him and stuff. yep. Well, he wasn't there so we left and i dismissed the idea of seeing him again. A week later i see him at the 'tute again. Kevin and his friend were doing a puzzle with a few girls helping so i sat somewhere else. as soon as i did though he said hey, we could use another. this is a big puzzle. so i went over and helped. he "accidentally" grabbed a piece i was going for and our hands touched. i got tingles all over. (weird, i know and incredibly cheesy but i did.) we smiled and continued working on this awesome puzzle of New York City. One by one the people helping us left and it was just me, Jacob and Kevin. He asked for my number so he could send me a video of him catching and throwing flies. i sad sure, and thus began our texting each other back and forth.
The opening social was that night and that is where all the LDS college people in the area go to the institute and have a huge dance and free dinner and stuff. I promised my roommate, Malia, i'd go so we did our hair all awesome and makeup to perfection and went. Kevin had already said he doesn't do dances, so i was like fine, i'll dance with other guys and have fun and that's exactly what i did. Around 11ish which was only about an hour into it, Kevin called and told me to go to the front, so i did and he asked if i liked Boy Meets World. For those who are way too sheltered and don't know what this is, shame on you. it is probably the greatest show ever, seriously. I said well, yeah who doesn't? and so he drove off and said okay, we're going to my house to watch it then. (yeah, he pulled me away from the social for some one-on-one time. Smooth, huh?) He then put his arm around me and we started season one. I hadn't seen it in so long, i forgot how much i loved it! :) He then took me home and was a gentleman. Texted me goodmorning and goodnight a lot stuff like that. We eventually started hanging out every weekend. We've had our normal hiccups, but we've remained together through it all. (we broke up for 2 weeks but we still hung out almost every day.) So, we made ourselves official on September 29th 2011 and we've almost been dating 8 months! crazy, right? I Love him so much! he's amazing... :D
